Simon & Simon: The Final Season (Season Eight)

Shout has done what Universal refused to do.
On October 10, 2006 Universal released the first season of Simon & Simon on DVD, but due to poor sales they decided not to release any further seasons. But just over two years later on February 10, 2009 Shout Factory bought the rights and released the second season. They quickly began releasing seasons three and four but still the sales were poor and retail stores declined to stock any future releases because of that. At this point the release of any further seasons were up in the air but Shout decided to make season five available exclusivley through their website. After this it was always a question if another season would be released, even after represenitives at Shout had stated that the release of any further seasons would not happen. They eventually did release seasons six and seven and at this point it was a pretty safe bet that they would release the last season, and only a few months after the release of season seven Shout released the eigth and final season.

Definately worth your time and $$.
Enjoyable ACTION '80s entertainment!

Abigail Marsh(Joan McMurtry)from San Diego P.D. whom often helped out with solving the Simon Bros. cases just like the down-on-his-luck pardoned ex-con turned private investigator Jim Rockford(James Garner)had his crotchety cop buddy Det. Dennis Becker(Joe Santos)from the LAPD do on the ROCKFORD FILES.

Speaking of detective dramas, something else I noticed was this show reminded me quite a bit of the ROCKFORD FILES, because for one thing Rick and AJ's lived an eccentric lifestyle just like Rockford did since Rick lived on a boat in the backyard of...
